And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Nobody’s forcing you. You’re a free man — if you want to ride horses, wear armor, and pretend you live in the Middle Ages, go for it. The problem is that you also want AC, a car, breakfast, lunch and dinner, modern medicine, etc, etc, etc
That's my first thought as well. Likewise, no one "forces" you to smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol. It's all about "feeling good" and feeding your ego.
I believe the point being made is much more simple than that. No need to go back to wearing armor and rescuing damsels(most likely get you arrested anyway)but in correcting what has been labeled as the wussification of the men in the US and I imagine a few other places worldwide. Basics = men are men, women are women. Nothing wrong with progress, let's just not lose track of those basics.
I'm sorry but we never "lost the basics." Bra burning feminists created "toxic masculinity" and emasculated at least two generations of males. Then the cross-dressing queers brain washed the rest.

DeleteThink it might be wise to learn to fight with edged weapons, spears, pikes, war axes and tomahawks, etc, they be very reliable weapons.
